Should I hire a landscaper or do it myself?
Hire professionals for: irrigation installation, large tree planting, retaining walls, drainage solutions, or designs requiring permits. DIY is fine for small plantings, basic maintenance, and simple mulching. Poor drainage or grading can cause foundation problems—get expert help for these issues.
What plants work best in Texas heat?
Texas-adapted plants include: native grasses, lantana, sage, yucca, agave, and drought-tolerant shrubs. Ask landscapers about xeriscaping to reduce water usage. Proper plant selection and mulching can cut irrigation needs by 50%+ compared to traditional lawns.
How do I maintain my lawn in Texas summer?
Water deeply but infrequently (1-1.5 inches weekly), mow high (3-4 inches for St. Augustine), and water early morning to reduce evaporation. Summer dormancy is normal for some grasses—don't overwater trying to keep them green. Consider warm-season grasses like Bermuda or Zoysia.
How much does irrigation system installation cost?
Sprinkler system installation costs $2,500-$6,000 for average yards (up to 1/4 acre). Costs depend on zones needed, water pressure, and landscaping complexity. Drip irrigation for beds adds $500-$1,500. Smart controllers ($150-$300) can reduce water usage 20-30% and often qualify for utility rebates.
What is xeriscaping and should I consider it?
Xeriscaping uses drought-tolerant native plants and efficient design to minimize water use. In Texas, it can reduce irrigation needs by 50-75% compared to traditional turf lawns. Initial costs are similar to traditional landscaping, but ongoing water and maintenance costs are much lower. Many cities offer xeriscaping rebates.
